Praise the Lord. Thank you and please be seated.

Well, good morning.

And on behalf of Pastor J.D. Farag, I would like to welcome you here to Calvary County Owe this Sunday morning.

I pray that you're blessed, that you've come, and I pray that you be blessed by the message that will be delivered today.

Now I do want to remind everyone about our next prayer meeting that will be held on August

the 5th at 7 p.m. here in the sanctuary. If you're able to join us, please come out. We're

going to be praying that we will also receive a message on prayer that evening. And so maybe

we all pray to that end. And if you're not able to make it don't forget that

a prayer meeting is not the only place we pray at we should be praying continually

and I hope that's what we're doing and if we are absent in our prayer life

why don't we pray that we become more prayer warriors?

That's always a good prayer to pray.

Before we get started, I do want to provide an update

that was given to me by Pastor J.D. in regards to our beloved Kelly Farag.

So please bear with me as I read through this. Again, this is an update given to me by Pastor J.D.

While salvation is our most valuable possession, prayer is our most powerful possession.

And Kelly and I are unspeakably grateful for all of your prayers and cries,

as God is hearing from on high and hearketing unto the voice of our cry.

So powerful are all of your prayers that our great physician guided the hands of the physicians performing the first of two emergency spinal cord surgeries scheduled over a four-day period from which Kelly is now recovering and recuperating prior to the second upcoming major spinal cord surgery that's tentatively scheduled

for tomorrow Monday.

So powerful are all of your prayers that God, in his amazing grace and unfathomable love love saw us through and got us past the alarming diagnosis that the cancer had aggressively spread to her bones,

which placed Kelly into what they call the golden hour, which is a 24 hour period of time to perform an emergency spinal cord surgery of this magnitude,
